Abi Huynh
Abi (pronounced ‘A-bee’) Huynh is a partner at Vancouver-based agency, Working Format. His portfolio is littered with type design, experiments and essays – the mark of someone who has a true love for the way words and letters are constructed. You may already be in possession of some of Abi’s design, as he regularly collaborates with Commercial Type producing their specimen sheets. We’d love to get our hands on the Arietta research/specimen book (see above), let alone the typeface.

Placements. You want one? Well, we can offer you one, but it’ll cost you… 1 creative project to be exact. Best case scenario, you’ll get a month-long placement and some recognition for your efforts. Worst case scenario, you’ll have a lovely new project to add to your portfolio.

illo type
As a big fan/user of illustrators, I thought it quite fitting to write a post on illustrated typography. So, after scrolling through the vast amount of illustrators I’ve bookmarked over the years here’s a small selection of some of my favourites.
Zenza Bronica
Whilst taking some photos on my old 1982 Bronica SQ-a last week, Tom spotted the unusual stitched typeface on the strap. I’ve always been so absorbed in taking the photos and the outcome rather than looking at the nearly insignificant strap that accompanies this brilliant camera. Read the rest of this entry
Pixel Typography
Just seen this video via FontShops twitter feed. An amazing idea with such beautiful results that makes you want to cry with jealousy by Dentsu London and BERG. If there was ever a reason to buy an iPad this is it. It would be great to see this as an app so others can have a go.
